ExBar® W 3
ExBar® W 3 is manufactured using only the highest quality white, natural barium sulfate ore. Strict quality control results in consistent products that are used in coatings, paint, plastics, rubber, sealants, friction materials and many other applications where color, purity and particle size are principle concerns.

- Properties
Highest density of any extender; Contributes to particle packing density, allowing more solids to be added to the formulation; Exceptional noise absorption & deadening; Excellent filler in anti-chip coatings; Contributes to improved adhesion; Extremely low solubility; Chemically inert Not affected by acids or alkalis Insoluble in water; Not affected by acids or alkalis; Insoluble in water; Excellent filler in corrosion resistant and flame retardant coatings; Low reactivity with binders (extremely low magnesium & calcium oxide content); Excellent dispersibility; Wets easily in all systems; Good scrub resistance; The wearing away or removal of a paint film; Improved mar resistance; The resistance of a material to abrasive action; Neutral pH: 6.0 - 8.5 Rheology; Control of cross-linking; Agglomeration; Poor adhesion; Reaction times and set times; Refractive index: 1.64 - 1.65; One of the highest refractive indexes for a filler/supplemental pigment; Good tint retention; Improved hide; Higher surface gloss; Improved light scattering and reflectance; Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Extender; (ExBar® W 1) can replace as much as 6% to 14% in some formulations; Thermal stability; Thermal degradation does not occur until 2,876°F (1,580°C) centigrade; Excellent in heat resistant coatings; Reduced compound stickiness; Reduction in die swell due to increased melt temperatures in extrusion; Excellent exterior durability and weather resistance (does not chalk or yellow) Extremely low oil absorption: 6 - 12; Low resin demand and reduction in needed binder, resulting in lower materials costs; Higher degree of impermeability, resulting in lower resin demand; Low MoH's hardness scale: 2.5 - 3.5; Grinds easily; Low abrasion; Minimal wear on equipment; Excellent sandability; Radiation blocking; Blocks gamma radiation; Does not block microwave
